He said: “We are delighted to be ranked eighteenth in The Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For Award 2012 and, even better, the highest ranked UK construction company.

He said: “I have worked at Lindum for a relatively short period of time compared to most of the employees and it’s great here.

“All the employees are very different individuals but they have one thing in common and that is the desire to do a good job and understand that this is achieved best as part of a team.
